Every news channel has been saying all day the Tate brothers' history is one of misogyny, their return is shady, and the effect on victims traumatic.

AND YET... all of them are standing by to livecast any remark the Tates care to make after landing, live and in full.

You are part of the problem.

Elon Musk and his 19-year-olds have now disrupted the approval of medical devices that save lives.

Every member of Congress bears a responsibility to stop this right now.

Attention working-class Americans:

Republicansโ€™ new budget does NOT include no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, or no tax on Social Security.

Instead it protects tax handouts for billionaires and makes way for the largest Medicaid cut in history.

An image featuring Admiral Lisa Franchetti in her formal Navy uniform saluting, alongside text highlighting her distinguished 40-year naval career, including commanding a destroyer, two carrier strike groups, and the U.S. Sixth Fleet. The text then contrasts her extensive experience with her reported firing by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, identified as a Fox News weekend host. The source of the information is credited to the New York Times, with "COURIER" branding in the top right corner. The highlighted portion of the text emphasizes the contrast between her career and the circumstances of her dismissal.

Letโ€™s face it. Getting rid of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is to make way for less qualified white men to take positions they donโ€™t deserve.

You're probably reeling, like me, from Trump's onslaught on Ukraine & from the horrifying spectacle of two superpowers trying to carve up a sovereign country.

Please, I beg you, use your voice. Write to your MP. Express your views on social media. Share this piece. Act.

Thank you.

โ€˜We have a rule when we hear the sirens: if youโ€™ve started operating, you donโ€™t stopโ€™: 24 hours with doctors on the Ukrainian frontline Like the soldiers they battle to save, combat medics in Ukraine are under constant attack. Three years after the invasion, one NHS doctor bears witness

We need facts as never before.

3 years after Putin invaded Ukraine, I spent 24 hours with combat medics on the Ukrainian frontline.

Their courage, compassion, dedication & skill are astounding.

Please read & please never stop standing up for Ukraine. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ
